Muscat: Maisarah Islamic Banking Services conducted monthly and quarterly draws for the holders of its Maisarah Prize Account at the Oman Avenues Mall recently.
The draw event was held in the presence of Moosa Al Farei, CEO of Atheer and a prominent Omani media figure, and the senior executives of Maisarah.
Maisarah, which distinguishes itself by focusing on providing outstanding customer service, also conducted a three-day ‘Maisarah Prize Account Promotion’ event at the Mall.
Monthly draws for the Maisarah Prize Account will also be held at Muscat City Centre, Nizwa Grand Mall, Sohar Safeer Mall, Salalah Gardens Mall and Sur City Walk Mall.
Congratulating the winners, Mohammed Ahmed Al Mashani, executive manager – Business & Channel said, “It was wonderful to see a gathering of our account holders and prospective customers interested in opening new accounts with us. This indicates the popularity of this prize account scheme. Our intention is to encourage and reward savings among our valued customers by providing these attractive incentives. I would also like to wish all our customers best of luck for the upcoming draws.”
He added, “This account is based on the Islamic profit sharing concept of Mudarabah. To follow their dreams, customers need to maintain a minimum balance of OMR100 in their accounts for 30 days. For every OMR100 balance, they get one chance to win, so the more they save, the greater their chances of winning.

The unique feature of Maisarah Prize Account is that customers are eligible for the expected profit of up to 3% on their deposits maintained in the account and in addition, the bank is giving away this prize from its own sources. Hence, it is not only encouraging customers to save but also rewarding them. This year’s prizes include; Monthly prizes with a total value of OMR 55,000 distributed among 110 winners (OMR500 for each winner – 10 winners monthly), in addition to Quarterly prizes with a total value of OMR4,000 for 4 winners (OMR1,000 for one winner every 3 months).
